I loved everything about the Wild Cards season finale.

coming in 2025 cont'd 2:

“What do you see in him?” “Everything you don’t.” Preview:

Pacey angrily jerked his head to a corner that wasn’t being taken up by a bunch of twenty-somethings, indicating you should meet him there. You watched as he practically stormed over to the spot.

“Maybe we should go,” CJ suggested, sounding a little nervous. “We can still make the movie if we leave now.”

You took a deep breath and shook your head. “No. If we’re going to do this, they need to get used to you being around. We’re not going to tuck our tails in between our legs and run.” You then warily glanced up at him. “Unless you’re rethinking the whole us thing right now. Wouldn’t blame you.” A teasing grin played at your lips and you just hoped it hid the insecurity you were feeling right then. What if CJ decided this wasn’t worth the drama? That you weren’t? You wouldn’t speak to Pacey or Audrey for the next decade if that happened. 

CJ’s jaw clenched and he shot you a look that asked if you were serious. “All I’m rethinking is the location.” He squeezed your hand to echo his sentiment. 

You gave him a nod and took a deep breath, letting the relief flow through you. “Right. Okay.” You tightened your grip on his hand and proceeded forward, making your way through the crowd, until you arrived at the corner Pacey was glaring at you both from with arms crossed.

“Hey, Pace,” you offered in a cordial tone, hoping he would do the same.

Instead, Pacey glared behind you. “What is he doing here? I don’t remember extending an invite when he was trying to punch my face in.”

Before you could answer, CJ stepped forward, coming to a stop next to you. “Look, man, I’m sorry about that.”

Untitled Prompt Response Preview:

CJ turned to look at you, his chest heaving. “Are you okay?”

You kept your eyes on the ceiling above you, nodding, as you attempted to catch your breath.

“Look at me,” he pleaded. Before you could, fingers gently cupped your chin and turned you to meet his worried gaze. “Are you sure you’re okay?” He panted.

You gave him another nod. “Yeah. I’ve just never…felt that before.”

Of course, he gave you a cocky smirk. “Sex?”

“No.” You shook your head and held the sheet tighter to your body before you turned on your side to face him, prompting him to do the same.

“An orgasm?” He asked in disbelief.

“No,” you laughed, playfully swatting at his arm. 

His lips spread in a warm smile. “What then?”

How could you put it into words? And even if you could, should you speak it? How did you tell your best friend, the boy who held your heart, that the feeling you’d had the first time he kissed you (and every time since) had returned to light up every cell of your being as it rushed through your body but was magnified by a hundred thousand times when your bodies were connected? That right and finally spread through your veins like wildfire? How could you explain it to him when you didn’t even understand it yourself? 

You gave him a shrug, smiling over at him.

“That’s all I get? A shrug?”

“For now.” You smirked.

He laughed and pulled you closer, trailing his fingers gently up and down your arm. “You know, I thought prom was gonna suck. But it didn’t turn out so bad, did it?” A grin formed on his face.

“Not so bad,” you confirmed, smiling. 

You both stayed like that for a few minutes, him caressing you and you watching him as he watched you back. Sure, you both just had sex and it had been your first time, but in the quiet that settled between you, you felt it. There had been a shift of some sort that you couldn’t quite put a name to. Your feelings hadn’t changed (and you were pretty sure CJ’s hadn’t either) and despite what you’d both just experienced, it felt unrelated to that. Maybe not completely but something had you feeling closer to him than ever before, as if some wall that you didn’t even know had existed, suddenly came down between you. Especially with the way he was looking at you now, as if he truly saw you for the first time.

“What are you staring at?” He murmured, his eyes roaming over your face before latching onto yours again.

You shrugged, not willing to put voice to anything just yet. Now that you were aware of the wall’s existence, you didn’t want to do or say anything that would cause it to go back up. 

“Another shrug?” He chuckled. “I’ve heard of women being rendered speechless by great sex . before, but this is something else. I was that good, wasn’t I?” There was a little cockiness underneath his teasing grin.

You rolled your eyes and went to move away when he grabbed you and pulled you against his chest, snickering. “You’re an idiot,” you mumbled, not able to fight the wide smile making its way across your face. 

“Uh huh.” He held you there for a moment and kissed your forehead, moving a hand to rub your back. After a moment, he whispered to your skin, “Seriously, are you sure you’re okay?”

You nodded against him, closing your eyes and melting into him. “Yeah. I’m a little sore but I’m okay.”

You were starting to nod off, exhaustion finally settling in along with relaxation at his touch, when you heard him whisper again, “Thank you” before pressing another kiss to your skin. You simply smiled and drifted off to sleep.

Untitled One Shot Preview (part 3 of "I hate you"):

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon at The Stand which meant it wasn’t too busy and only a couple of counselors were scheduled. CJ’s brows furrowed in concentration as he turned the page of the book he was reading for his abnormal psych class. He was currently making his way through the section on substance abuse, something he pretty much already knew thanks to his history and everything he’d learned since then, but it was required reading. So he put his feet up on his desk and sat back, making sure to go through the chapter diligently like he would any other reading he was assigned. 

Just when he reached the section on alcohol, his phone started to ring. Grateful for the interruption, he laid the book down flat to keep his place and picked up the phone. 

“Help line, this is CJ.”

“CJ?”

A smile suddenly formed on his face the second he heard your voice. “Hey, Jo, I was just thinking about you,” he practically purred. He still remembered the last time you had called him here. That had been beyond sexy and he definitely wanted to re-enact that at some point in the future. He glanced towards the clock, noting he had about half an hour to go; it seemed like that time might be now.

“This is not—one of those—calls!” You nearly yelled.

He heard the distress in your voice and immediately switched into a more concerned mindset. “What’s wrong?” Sounds of you struggling to breathe came down the line and he froze, his heart stopping inside his chest. “Are you having a panic attack?”

Another ragged inhale sounded. “Y-Yes!”

Fuck. He hated that this was happening to you right now and he couldn’t be there with you. Sure, you’d had panic attacks before and you’d gotten through them each time, most of the time without him before you two started to date. He also had training to be able to talk you or most other callers through such a scary event. But things were different; you were his girlfriend, he really loved you, and you didn’t really get these episodes anymore. Which is why it was so unsettling to him. Whatever had happened to cause this must have been huge or been stressful enough to push you past the tipping point of everything that had been building up. Either way, it was concerning.

CJ had to keep from panicking himself as he listened to you struggling to breathe. Instead, he took a breath and his training immediately kicked in. He had to help you and he couldn’t do that if he was a worried mess. “Okay, sweetheart, I’m here. You’ve gotten through this before and you’re going to get through it again. This too shall pass. Remember everything you’ve learned and let’s start putting it into practice, okay? So, take a deep breath.”

“I—can’t!”

“Yes, you can,” he calmly assured you. “Try it with me.” He made sure you heard him inhaling deeply through his nose and then exhaling out of his mouth. You tried to copy him but the breath stuttered. 

“I told you,” you cried. “I can’t—do it.”

“You can, sweetheart, I know you can. You just have to keep trying. Okay, one more time.” He repeated the process over and over until he heard you starting to sound more and more like he had, all while speaking to you calmly, reassuringly, and positively. 

Once you blew out a long controlled exhale, he knew you were doing better than you had been a few minutes ago.

Untitled Prompt Response Preview:

Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Jason pass by the open doorway one more time, his gait slow as he watched you. You turned to look and he disappeared before you could connect eyes, just like he had the past three minutes. You rolled your eyes and leaned forward to spit toothpaste into the sink. “Jason.”

His dark blonde head popped inside, an adorable grin on his face. “Yeah?”

You rinsed out your toothbrush. “You’re doing it again.”

Untitled One Shot Preview:

You rolled your eyes, snickering, and you were typing a reply back when you rounded the corner to find your three best friends standing there, waiting for you. Clark looked uncomfortable, Lana seemed concerned, and Chloe was downright pissed.

“Oh, uh, hey, guys.” You gave them a wave after shutting your phone. “I was just leaving for the day. What’s up?” You knew what was up but you tried to play dumb. You weren’t really ready for this conversation if you were being honest.

“What’s up,” Chloe began. “Is that Clark and Lana both told me about something they saw that was disturbing.”

Your eyes widened and you turned them on Clark. Lana you already knew about and expected after what she saw a few minutes earlier, but Clark?

He seemed like he’d rather be anywhere else than here right now and you couldn’t blame him. But to his credit, he did look you in the eyes. “I didn’t say it was disturbing, Chloe. I said I was worried. For Y/N.” He gestured towards you. “That’s all.”

“Apples and oranges, Clark,” Chloe snapped. “So, Y/N, are you going to tell us or are we just going to have to come right out and ask you?”

“Isn’t that kind of what you’re already doing?” You pointed out, crossing your arms.

“Oh my God, it’s true, isn’t it?” Chloe exclaimed. 

You shushed her and glanced around, thankfully not finding anyone within hearing distance. “Keep your voice down,” you hissed.

“Wow, so you really are involved with a tea—”

“Chloe, stop! And he’s not…that. Okay? So stop with that whole thing right now,” you begged.

Lana spoke up then, much more calmly than your blonde friend. “Y/N, Clark’s right. We’re just concerned about you. Just tell us…what’s going on?”

Seeing judgment in Chloe’s eyes and reserved perturbation in Lana’s, you settled your gaze on Clark. You all were close and tight-knit, something that hadn’t made your secret relationship with Jason easy by any means, but out of all three friends facing you down right now, Clark was probably your closest friend. He always had your back, no matter what, and you two got along really well. You’d been there for each other, time and time again, during his heartbreak with Lana and during your heartbreak with Justin, a junior you’d dated briefly when you were a sophomore. If you were looking for anyone to be on your side, to not be in judgment like the other two, it was him. And while you didn’t see said judgment staring back at you, you did see some uncertainty, a pinch of disbelief, and possibly a lack of understanding. You could work with that of course but it still made your shoulders sag slightly with disappointment.

You thought about Jason, possibly facing his own firing squad right then, something that you felt was partially your fault, and now you had to make a decision. Do you tell your friends and swear them to secrecy (something you know Chloe might possibly not keep to unless you could explain the difference between teacher and coach to her as well as reveal that you and Jason had met before he ever took this job) or do you make up some elaborate story to explain what Lana saw and whatever Clark saw, and hope for the best?

Almost as if she could see your hand-wringing over the decision on your face, Chloe shook her head and took a step forward. “Torch. Now.”

You heaved a sigh but followed your friends down the hall around the next corner and to the left. On your way, you opened your phone and texted Jason that you might be a little late to lunch. He didn’t respond so you knew he must still be with Quigley and you took a deep breath before you snapped your phone shut and stepped into the Torch headquarters.

Chloe closed the door behind you all and Clark situated himself on the edge of a desk with Lana standing on his one side and the blonde perching down on the other. “Alright. Spill.”

Your phone beeped just then and you held up a finger, opening up your phone again and ignoring Chloe’s impatient sigh. 

You need backup? I’m right around the corner. Say the word and I’m coming in. - J

You smiled and quickly replied with “No, that’s okay but thank you tho. I’ve got this. Just save my seat for me at the cafe.”

The next message sped your heart up a bit. Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Clark cocked his head slightly and his eyes were intent on you, almost as if he could hear it. 

“Always. And if there aren’t any seats available, you’ll just have to sit with me. ;) - J” Something Jason had actually tried and done in the past. Just the thought of it had your cheeks heating up and you needed to hurry up and get going already. While you didn’t mind sitting in his lap, you preferred it to be when you both were alone, not in front of a whole cafe full of people. 

“Hello? Earth to Y/N,” Chloe called.

You snapped your phone shut and slipped it into your bag, preparing to tell your three best friends what you’d been hiding from them for the past few months. Seeing Chloe’s frown, Lana’s discomfort, and Clark’s intensity mixed with a knowing look, it wasn’t going to be a surprise. But you planned to let them know just how important Jason was to you as well as your history before school started and while you weren’t going to ask them to lie and cover for you, you also were going to make sure they understood the very real risk to Jason’s job should you two be found out or rumors floated around school. It was a dicey, complicated situation at best. But you loved him, you really did, and you truly wanted this to work.

Untitled One Shot Preview:

Jason’s eyes never left you and he watched as you stared down at the weapon, studying it as it sat in your hand. He had seen a lot of things but this just looked wrong to him. Not because you were holding it incorrectly, but because he’d never wanted his old life to touch you in any way. He would have given anything to keep you far from all of this which is why he kept you at arm’s length once it became apparent what his mother wanted him to do in regards to Lana and the stones. He’d been protecting Lana because he’d actually come to care for the girl and while he didn’t love her, he didn’t want to see her hurt, either. …But in the midst of all of that, had he been protecting you?

The answer to that was quite clearly no given the current predicament you were in and the fact that he’d had to rescue you, from his mother of all things. He had been ready to go to war with the Luthors when your mother told him in between sobs that you had been taken. Lionel and Lex were the ones in this town that could make that happen and be the only ones who had reason to, though Jason had no idea how they’d found out about you in the first place. Imagine his surprise when his mother admitted she had you taken hostage in the most blase manner possible. She didn’t want him getting distracted in his romancing Lana and the pursuit of the stones after all. How she found out about you, Jason could only imagine. It might have to do with the one night you’d shown up at his dorm by surprise, upset and wanting to talk, not really sure why he’d given you the cold shoulder and been super distant since he’d been back. Jason had to scramble fast and say some horrible things to you out in the parking lot of his building to get you to leave since Lana was in his room, thinking he was talking to a classmate about some notes for a class he’d had to miss due to an impromptu practice he’d had to helm in Quigley’s absence. The hurt expression on your face haunted him long after you left and once Lana had finally gone back home, he’d hightailed it to your house, calling you incessantly but you didn’t pick up. Only when your house was swarmed by cop cars and your mother greeted him at the door with tears and tremors did he then find out you had been taken. You had been on the phone with her, upset over the fight you and he had, when you mentioned an officer pulled you over so you’d have to put the phone down. She stayed on the line and heard you conversing with the cop until she heard you screaming, fighting against your attacker, and then being taken out of the car. She’d called 911 immediately and feared the worst when it was confirmed that no officers of Smallville PD had reported to dispatch of them pulling over a car matching the description of yours. Considering how fast the abduction happened, Jason’s mother must have acted quickly. She must have been having him watched which didn’t surprise him in the least; she always liked to keep a short leash on him, letting him taste the freedom he craved only to snatch it away with a quick pull anytime she wanted something. And this time, she wanted the stones; nothing and no one was going to get in her way — not Lana, not the Luthors, not you, not even her own son. 

Thinking back to that night and watching you now, his jaw tightened. He was downright uncomfortable seeing you holding the instrument of death he’d used one too many times before. Make a different choice you’d said — was that even possible?

The ringing phone in his hand broke into his reverie and he flipped it open to glance at the screen. His mother, just as expected, and he had a sneaking suspicion on what she was going to say, what she was going to tell him had to be done now that you knew too much.

Glancing back and forth between you and the phone, an age old anger began to surface, followed quickly by a familiar resentment, but this time it was tainted with a few new tendrils of rage. This was his life, dammit! And he’d already sacrificed way too much…he wasn’t going to sacrifice you, too. He hurled the phone at the wall, making you jump as it loudly cracked into two pieces.

Untitled One Shot Preview:

Instead, you chose to dive into the heart of the matter, remembering his troubled expression from a minute ago. “So, what’s the problem? Lana wasn’t feeling particularly benevolent this morning? Wanted to keep her clothes on while you were around? Shower for one, no exceptions this time?”

“Don’t talk about her like that,” he spoke through gritted teeth.

Your eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise. So, Genevieve had been right. Jason was getting in deep. “If I remember correctly, you never seemed to have a problem talking about me like that with your buddies.”

You could see the tic in his jaw. “I’m not doing this with you.”

He made his way past you, not sparing you a glance, and exited the cafe. You followed closely behind and ignored him letting the door shut in your face. Once you were near his car, he spun on his heel to face you. 

“Did she tell you to follow me this closely or do you just suck at your job? Anyone could see us together.”

You huffed out a snort. “Oh trust me, I know and I remember how it would have killed you had that happened once while we were together.”

“Let’s get one thing straight, we were never together.”

“Oh, right, you were just using me for sex and a shoulder to cry on.”

“And you were just using me to get closer to my mother,” he snapped.

You let out a chuckle of exasperation. That’s what he thought? Dear God, he was so much more screwed up than you realized.

Instead of continuing this fun little snipe fest, you recalibrated and asked him directly, “What happened up there that’s got you worried?”

He gave you a salacious smirk. “You’re still jealous? I dumped you, what, six months ago? Get over it already, Y/N. What goes on between me and my girlfriend is none of your business.”

“What goes on between you and your mark is my business actually because it’s your mother’s. Now, what happened?”

His face darkened again. “I’m not—”

“Listen to me, our crap aside, if something happened with Lana or the stone, your mother will want to know about it. If one of us doesn’t tell her, it doesn’t bode well for either of us. Do you hear what I’m saying?”

He shrugged. “For you maybe. Me? I’m her son. I don’t have to worry.” He gave you a cocky smirk and opened the door to his car, intent on getting in, the conversation over for him.

“If you don’t have to worry, then why did she send me to keep an eye on you and report back to her on everything you’re doing?”

That stopped him short. You knew it would; there wasn’t much he could say to that.

“Look. You hate me, I hate you. That’s fine. But we’re both on the same team here, sort of. So let’s pool resources and work together. The sooner she gets what she wants, the sooner you’re free to go back to doing whatever it is you want to do.” You took a step closer, ducking your head to catch his eye. “Work with me,” you softly entreated.

He turned to look at you, his jaw tight, but not saying anything. You knew he was thinking it over. The one thing you knew he wanted more than anything was being dangled in front of him: his freedom. 

You decided to sweeten the deal. “And, hey, bonus, I’ll be out of your life again that much quicker.”

The corner of his lips lifted up in the beginning of a smile. “With an offer like that, how can I refuse?”

You rolled your eyes. “Deal?”

He let out a heavy breath and ran a hand through his hair before looking back over at The Talon. A moment later, he muttered, “Deal.”

“What do you see in him?” “Everything you don’t.” Preview:

You followed Max past the checkpoint once she flashed her Jam Pony badge and explained to the cops that she was showing you the ropes for the job. She had been given a bored nod and you both had been waved through. You studied the scene intently as you both rode past them, taking in every single detail and filing it away for later use.

“So, when do I get a badge for checkpoints like that?” You asked casually. “When I start making my own runs?”

Max gave you a knowing look. “That’s when I got mine so I’m thinking probably. But I’m still careful as you should be.”

You smiled at the warning. “Always am.”

She watched you for a moment before turning back to the road in front of you. The rest of the ride was short and silent. That was one thing Max said she appreciated about going on runs with you. You never met a silence you felt the need to automatically fill. 

Max slowed down in front of a place, glancing at the address. “This is it.”

You nodded and both of you parked your bikes. She handed you the clipboard and package, letting you take the lead up to the front door. “So, Y/N, I gotta ask.”

“What’s up?”

“What exactly do you see in Alec?”

Your pace didn’t slow any and you affected nonchalance. “Meaning professionally as a bike messenger? Not much but I’m sure with that smile of his that he somehow believes charms all of the ladies, he gets decent tips every so often. Especially if he puts in some effort.”

Max shot an unamused expression in your direction. “You know exactly what I mean.”

Nothing But Killing Time Preview:

You sat cross-legged on your bunk, leaning back against the wall, trying to think of how you could get out of this. You had been on the run for the longest time and all because you decided to help some poor kid out, you’d gotten recaptured by Manticore. No good deed went unpunished, that was for sure.

In a cruel twist of fate, you were also in heat thanks to them mixing some feline DNA into your genetic cocktail. On the outside, you could take care of it like you always had; scratch that itch the old-fashioned way. But in here, it was torture. You were practically climbing the walls and you’d be damned if you’d give any of these creeps guarding the cells a free peep show. 

Speaking of walls, you scoured the room again, your eyes adjusting in the dark but you still couldn’t find any crack or divot in the room that you could work with. Dammit. It looked like you would have to plan on escaping the old fashioned way and that was bound to be a bitch. 

The light coming on overhead caught your attention and you glanced over to the door when you heard the keys jingling. You locked eyes with someone through the bars of the door and when the door started to open, you refused to move.

You could smell him when he walked in and it hit you like a freight train. He was young, virile, attractive…everything that was guaranteed to make things that much worse for you. Neither of you looked away from one another, sizing each other up. It was the guy from the yard earlier whose gaze had stayed covertly trained on you nearly every second. Something he had been doing since you got here. You’d given him your best menacing glare but that hadn’t seemed to deter him.  

“I’ll be back for you in a few hours,” the guard stated.

The guy who was now standing inside your cell gave the other man a smirk with a nod. “Thanks, Vic.”

Vic lifted up a package of cigars in gesture. “Thank you.” He glanced between the both of you. “You two have fun.” He gave you a creepy smile and you scoffed in disgust.

Once the door locked back into place, you glared up at your intruder. “I don’t know what’s going on but if you think anything is happening here, you’re deadly mistaken.”

The guy huffed out an exasperated breath. “What is with the girls in this place? Is it me?” He gestured to himself and after a moment, he shook his head with certainty. “No, it can’t be me.”

You rolled your eyes but kept your body stock still. You didn’t want to risk one inch of movement because you weren’t entirely sure you wouldn’t do something you’d regret. “No, of course not,” you quipped.

He studied you for a moment, smiling. “I’m designation 49—”

“494. Yes, I know who you are.”

His smile broadened and his tongue peeked through his teeth. He seemed quite pleased. “And you’re 498.”

You arched a brow over at him.

“Vic told me who you were.” He gestured back towards the door. “He said you escaped some time ago but then they caught you again. Something about a kid stealing some—”

“Is there a point to this visit?”

“Right down to it, huh? Not even a little chit-chat first?” He joked.

You tilted your head and shot him a look.

“Okay,” he sighed. “Well, we are on a timeclock so… I’m your breeding partner.”

Your eyes slightly widened and then you let out a chuckle in disbelief. “You’ve gotta be kidding me. That’s the best you could come up with?”

His brows drew together in confusion. “It’s true. We’ve got orders to copulate every night until you get pregnant.” He stripped his shirt off and tossed it to the side.

Your eyes could not roll far back enough in your head. “Wow. That has to be the worst line of crap I’ve ever heard. And I’ve been around.” 

494 bit his lip, his gaze intent on you. “How around?”

You snorted and got to your feet, ready to call for Vic to escort your guest out and if that didn’t work, you’d open that door using 494, head first.

The guy held out his hands in supplication but you also noticed him tensing in preparation in case you attacked. “It’s true, 498. They had to start the breeding program since the DNA database was blown up. Many of us have been paired off. You and I,” He smirked and leaned in. “Well, we just got lucky.”

Untitled Prompt Response:

Alec’s gaze flickers upwards, catching you staring at him once again. You immediately drop your eyes back down to your food that you’re pushing around with your fork. Joshua made some great mac and cheese but there was a pit in your stomach and as a result, you weren’t really that hungry.

Untitled One Shot Preview:

You watched Priestly hand Piper a sandwich, noting the text on the front of his gray t-shirt: Orgasm Donor. When he went back to the grill, the back of his shirt then said: Ask For A Free Sample. You dug your teeth into your bottom lip as the muscles of his back rippled underneath said shirt while he moved. You sure would like to ask for a sample. 

And right on cue, Tish walked in the door and Priestly’s gaze immediately zeroed in, making your stomach drop. Right. 

You went back to your assignment for your World Lit class and tuned Tish out while she filled everyone in on her latest sexcapades with some jerk named Tadd.

You were so honed in on what you were reading and taking notes on, that you didn’t know someone had approached you until a plate of food was placed down in front of you. You glanced up to find Priestly smirking down at you. “So, what garbage are they having you read this time?” He snatched up your book and sat across from you, his brows furrowing as he skimmed through it.

“What do you see in him?” “Everything you don’t.” Preview:

You rolled your eyes as your mother glanced once more towards the hallway, making sure that Priestly had disappeared. A minute ago, he had politely asked where the bathroom was and your mom had only been too happy to direct him. You knew she had been itching to get you alone to ask you what the hell you had been thinking.

Sure enough, her gaze rounded back on you, the fury she was restraining pulling tightly at her features. “Y/N,” she hissed. “What on earth are you thinking?”

“I second that,” your dad added.

“I’m thinking that you both are incredibly close-minded and judgemental. Could you be any more rude to him, Mom?”

Your mother became flustered at your response so your dad jumped in, pointing his fork at you. “Don’t talk like that to your mother, young lady. She has every right to be concerned.”

Your eyes did another roll. “Concerned, right.”

hi! so I had a question, how long did it take you to build a following on tumblr? how long have you been writing for spn as a whole (I assume you started with it but I’m not sure I meant when did you start writing on the app mostly) and do you think it usually takes as long as it did for you for other people? (I hope the wuestion made sense)

Hi there, lovely anon!

Oh, these are great questions, and I'm happy to answer. I'm going to be referencing this post, as someone asked me a similar question.

I also talk a lot about my beginning fanfic/coming to Tumblr experience and building a following in this interview I did with the @idlingintheimpalapodcast.

That being said, here's how I got started in SPN fandom and on Tumblr, and 6 Tumblr Tips related to how I've tried to grow my blog:

Writing for SPN & Starting on Tumblr

To be honest, I'm a bit late to the party when it comes to Tumblr. I've written for many different fandoms over the 15 years or so I've been writing fanfic, but I've been writing for Supernatural in particular since around 2015. I wrote on platforms like Fanfiction.net, and later I moved over to Ao3.

I dabbled with Tumblr starting in 2021 while I was working on a Billy Butcher x OC story for the Boys (And So It Goes). But after watching the last season of SPN, I got the SPN bug again, so I started dipping back into the fandom.

But I wasn't really that active on Tumblr until January 2023, when I wrote my first soulmate AU series for Dean Winchester, called Never Say Goodbye (Dean x soulmate!Reader).

That started a very fun journey for me in the Tumblr world, engaging with people and making friends here with awesome people! 💕

Now, here are a few tips on what I've learned in building my following. You don't have to do exactly what I did. This is just my advice based on my personal experience here:

Tip #1: Learn How Tumblr Functions

Everything has been a process of trial and error. I have a professional background in content and social media marketing, so that knowledge has helped me a lot with some elements I'll get into later.

But it took me time to learn the Tumblr landscape. I had to figure out:

Why it's important to reblog -- not just your own work in replying to people's comments, but what you read and enjoy. It's what makes Tumblr go 'round.

The different mobile vs. desktop views and functions.

How to format my posts and use hashtags that would best optimize my fics and posts, based on the most followed tags in the fandom I was writing for.

How to create design elements, like banners, dividers, and headers that matched my aesthetic and the fandom.

Make sure my blog is easy to read, visually, and easy to navigate, technically (links to my masterlists, series masterlists, tag list, my fic library side blog, Patreon, etc.).

I'm still adjusting all these things now and then as I figure out new ways to keep readers engaged, and make my blog as easy to navigate as possible.

Tip #2: Create a Tag List

A tag list is a list of blog users that request to be tagged in your upcoming fics. (See this post on tips for formatting tag lists and optimizing hashtags on posts.)

Some authors don't do tag lists anymore because they find it a hassle (and it can be), but even if you're just starting out, advertise your tag list -- I suggest at the end of a fic and in your bio, your masterlist, and/or navigation page. It will get more eyes on your posts, and hopefully more engagement.

I used Google Forms to build up my tag lists because it's easy to use and it creates a Google spreadsheet for you based on the responses you get (an idea I got from another writer who was doing the same thing). You can also create more sheets within the file to organize the responses by character, for example.

On my tag list, I gave readers options to choose which character they wanted to be tagged on based on the fandoms I write for. I also created tag lists for new series to go with the series masterlist. Like I said above, I created spreadsheets for each of these lists within my tag list form master sheet.

Now, you don't have to do it exactly this way. There are many ways to keep track of a tag list.

Some people may think my approach is too much work, but this was very successful for me in building up my tag lists and increasing my following. Staying organized is key! 🤓✌🏽

I have since created a side blog @zepskieswrites for people to follow with notifications on, since my character tag lists are full.

Tip #3: Posting Schedules, Announcements & Sneak Previews

When my blog started to gain traction from my first SPN series, I knew I wanted to post consistently to keep people's interests. For me, this meant once a week (sometimes more if the mood strikes me), to keep that momentum going. YouTube vloggers do the same thing for this reason. They have a set posting schedule and give announcements.

You don't have to post once a week. You don't even have to have a set schedule. That's just what I did last year to increase engagement, but also because I love to write, I was getting inspired, and I made the time for it!

Remember that writing and sharing your work and being a part of the fandom on Tumblr is supposed to be fun! At the same time, what you get out of something depends on how much time you have to put into it.

Basically what I’m saying is, I’ve put a lot of time and energy into my writing and my blog, but only because it’s been very fun to do it! 😉

Now, going back to being consistent. It can help you! When people know they have content waiting for them by a certain timeframe, and they see that you stick to that deadline, they're more likely to tune in and engage with your work.

Of course, real life comes first, always, and things can derail you, but on the whole I make sure that I keep my word when I say I'm going to post something. Tumblr has a scheduling feature that allows you to schedule posts ahead of time, which I use on a daily basis. That can help you as well.

To try and generate buzz around new stories, I give writing updates or announcements, often with sneak previews, and the dates when I plan to drop the upcoming story. When I'm writing a series, on each chapter I give a preview of the next one, so I can try to keep people invested and waiting for the next chapter.

Tip #4: People are Visual (Use Images & Design Elements)

A huge element of successful content and social media is visuals. The first thing people are often drawn to when they look at a web page, an ad, or any kind of digital content is the picture -- and any other visual elements. Then they look at the title/headline, followed by the rest of the story.

This is why I always lead with the title of the story/headline and a GIF or image at the top of the post for a story. Draw readers in with their eyes to the visual, and then the content. I now create my own design elements, including story headers.

When I got started here on Tumblr, I also took a closer look at how other popular blogs I admired were organizing their masterlists, formatting their stories with banners, dividers, tags/warnings, word count, creating tag lists, and more -- both to create their blog aesthetic and to make it easier for readers to enjoy their work on different levels -- the content itself, and the visual elements.

Shoutouts to some of those writers I looked to, who have a lovely blog aesthetic and organization: @luci-in-trenchcoats @deanwinchesterswitch @deanbrainrotwritings @dean-winchester-is-a-warrior

Form and function is a balance, and they should work together. For example, there are some design/post formatting elements that are getting popular now on Tumblr that I personally don't vibe with, because I think it takes away from the reader's experience.

Like making the entire post or story in small case. Readers that have trouble seeing small fonts won't want to read this.

or making everything in the story lower case. this just bothers me for grammatical reasons. guarantee i will be turned off from reading. 😂

Also, most people browse Tumblr on their phone rather than on desktop. (About 62% according to current Semrush statistics.) So certain things that are small in your desktop version will be even smaller on mobile.

If you have a custom blog design, some design elements may not transfer well visually on mobile vs. desktop, and vice versa. So you'll want to check both versions to see how it looks, and possibly make adjustments.

Now, this isn't to say you have to become a graphic designer if that's not your thing. There are plenty of people who share their lovely designs for free, as long as you make sure to credit them if you use one of their banners, dividers, etc. Check out @cafekitsune and @firefly-graphics, for example.

Some of them even take requests. Just make sure to check their bio to see if they state whether they're currently taking requests or not. (This also goes for writers on fic requests.)

Tip #5: Support Your Fellow Writers! Reblog/Comment on What You Read & Enjoy

This is part of the fun when you start truly engaging with the fandoms you love.

Likes are cool. Comments are wonderful. Reblogs with comments are awesome, because not only do they get that engagement/feedback that they can reply to, but the reblog helps your fellow writers get seen. And while they aren't obligated to, they might be more inclined to do the same for you.

You'll also start to develop relationships within your fandom community. This is how I've made many friends and gained new readers on Tumblr -- by reblogging, sharing, commenting on what I liked about the fics I read. 💜

I try my best to support my fellow writers, no matter how new or how popular they are. Just because a writer has a bigger following, doesn't mean they appreciate feedback any less.

Feedback gives us writers energy and fuels us to write more. It can lead to more inspiration, and to continue the series you might be so invested in.

So if I took the time to read something, if I enjoyed it, I'm usually reblogging it and sharing my thoughts, even if it's just a gif or a couple of lines, or a long raving review. 💖

Tip #6: When I Do Get Engagement, I Reply to Comments and Reblogs

Along with supporting my fellow writers, engaging with the lovely people who read my work is just good fun! It's the best part of sharing my work on here and on Ao3. And it lets them know that you value and appreciate them for taking the time to comment and/or comment in a reblog. 💓💓💓

I hope these tips are helpful! Now, to answer your last question...

Do you think it usually takes as long as it did for you

[to build a following] for other people?

Interesting, but the truth is, I'm not sure. My knowledge of content and social media marketing has probably given me a leg up, I think, even though it took me a while to learn the Tumblrscape. I've also been writing fanfic for a long time. Long before I ever heard about Tumblr.

I've spent years studying literature, creative writing, and screenwriting, and putting it into practice. I've spent years writing for other voices besides my own, outside of the fanfic world. Like anyone else, I can only go by what I've learned, my own instincts, my frame of reference, and what I want to write about next.

Like anyone else, I can only hope that what I put out there vibes with people and touches them in some way, enough that they feel comfortable letting me know what they thought about it. 💜

In the meantime, I'll just keep getting inspiration from this guy (and other characters):
